BeetleCam: a remote controlled camera gets up close to lions and elephants in Tanzania

"...Traditionally, these sort of photographs have been taken using camera
traps - stationary cameras triggered when the animal breaks an invisible
infrared beam. The problem with this method is that it requires a great deal
of time and luck. We wanted something a little more proactive and thus
BeetleCam was conceived - a camera mounted on top of a four-wheel drive
remote control buggy"
